(Fast till noon for Vamanadeva, with feast tomorrow)

Vamana Dvadasi celebrates Lord Vamanadeva, who appeared as a dwarf brahmana and accepted three steps of land from Bali Maharaja.

Significance of this day

By covering the universe in two steps and accepting Bali's surrendered self with the third, Lord Vamana revealed both His supremacy and His affection for a devotee who keeps his promise.

How it is observed at ISKCON Asansol

• Devotees fast as prescribed, hear the pastime of Lord Vamana and Bali Maharaja, offer worship and honour prasadam after the appropriate time.

Dates follow the authentic Gaudiya Vaishnava calendar observed at ISKCON Mayapur, calculated for our region. Timings for fasting and breaking the fast are announced at the temple.
